My Isherwood paperback collection just got two new additions (A Meeting by the River and All The Conspirators, lower right). Yes I've got two copies of Lions and Shadows, and yes I've just ordered another copy of A Single Man too, bc it's got a great cover. Duplicates aren't a bad thing. I've been reading Isherwood since I was about twenty. I just thought this guy is a total cool bohemian beatnik. Which of course he was.

Today in Labor History March 24, 1919: Poet and activist Lawrence Ferlinghetti was born. Ferlinghetti is most well-known for his book of poetry, “A Coney Island of the Mind” (1958) and for cofounding City Lights bookstore and publishing, in San Francisco. The authorities arrested him for publishing Allen Gingsberg’s “Howl” because they deemed it obscene. However, a jury acquitted him in 1957. Politically, Ferlinghetti considered himself an anarchist. His politics were influenced by Anarchist poet and IWW member Kenneth Rexroth.

Apparently I have a rather interesting personal history — though for people coming of age in the 60s, it’s hard to believe that it was anything exceptional. I’m more into looking forward than back but as the seasons of life progress, maybe worth writing some of this stuff down before it all fades to grey. #Beatniks #Hippies #Sixties #Communes #Rock #AltLifestyles

Today’s freakout: I just listened to the entire Everyone is a Complete Disappointment by John Giorno on headphones (the only way) and it was stunning. Highly recommended!

The Prime Time (1960), a low-budget US exploitation movie, one of those “these crazy teenagers today” movies.
Jean is 17 and she’s running with a wild bunch and out of control. These kids stay out till 10pm, listening to rock’n’roll and drinking soda pop like it’s soda pop. This kind of immorality is bound to lead to consequences. And it does. She gets mixed up with beatniks.
An intriguing look at 1960 attitudes towards youth culture.

Before we became hippies, we were beatniks.

The Beat Generation, a sleazy 1959 crime thriller (with a hint of film noir) masquerading as an exploitation movie, or an exploitation movie masquerading as a sleazy crime thriller. With beatniks for added spice. Either way it’s interesting and enjoyable. The cast includes noir icon Steve Cochran plus Mamie van Doren, Irish McCalla (Sheena Queen of the Jungle) and Vampira!
